Terrano headlamp problems

A few days ago both low beam headlights failed. High beam and sidelights are OK as are the fog/driving lights.

The only fuses (under bonnet just behind battery) are for left and right headlights and both 15a fuses are Ok.. What else can it be? Is there any other fuse which runs both low beam lights or a relay?

Linked topic. After I've fixed it, how do I alter the wiring so that all outside lights (except maybe "park" and "hazzard flashers") go out when ignition is switched off?

Where can I get the fog/driving lamp reflectors "re-chromed?

1998 (?) Nissan Terrano 3200cc petrol/LPG

Here are some suggestions that work. The switch stalk switches the headlights individually and directly. This tends to wear out over time. Well it does for my 95 model and I know of other ones that have suffered the same fate.
This is the workaround we use.

I also re-wired my plugs to the lights from the relays
